Hello "Alberto":
"uninstall perfectDisk".....you should be able to uninstall Perfect
Disk using the Control Panel>Programs & Features>Change or uninstall a
program.
"Uninstall Ultimate Defrag".....the Defrag program is part of the Vista
operating system and can not be uninstalled, but after you remove Perfect
Disk you should be able to open the Vista Defragmenter by typing Disk
Defragmenter in the search box after clicking the start button. When the
Defragmenter window opens you have the option of checking or unchecking Run
on a schedule. You also can instruct it to Defragment by clicking Defragment
now. If you plan on re-installing Perfect Disk, I would uncheck Run on a
schedule.
"nstall again both programs"....you can re-install Perfect Disk without
problem, but be sure you are using the Vista compatible version. I don't
think you can run both Perfect Disk and Vista's Disk Defragmenter program.
You have to choose between the two because both programs work deep within the
operating system and change the operating system to work only with that
particular program. As an example Perfect Disk can take over the boot
process and also constantly keep the O.S. files defragmented and running
smoothly. Well, Vista Degragmenter does this also and the pc can't have
both programs in control of the boot process and the defragmenting of O.S.
files without major problems.
My conclusion is that while Perfect Disk is an excellent Defragmenting
program, probably better than the Vista one, you may find that configuring
and using all the Perfect Disk features requires a great deal of computer
expertise and you would probably be better off using Vista's Defragmenter
program. It will do an excellent job if you just let it run as designed. It
constantly keeps your disks in good shape and the only problem I've heard of
is that if it is set to automatically defragment your drive(s) and the pc is
off or asleep it will start up the next time you turn on or wake up the pc.
If you have a powerful cpu and fast hard drive(s) you may not notice it's
even running. If you have barely adequate hardware your system may seem a
little slower but should still function ok.
